FMI, will someone please tell me how shoeshining manifests itself?
Does it mean that the tape actually reverses periodically?
e.g. to backspace over a filemark in order to overwrite it, or does it 
mean that the tape just stop-starts rather than continuously streaming. 
If its just stop-start, why does it result in more tape wear (as opposed 
to tapedrive wear) than streaming?

Cheers,
Terry
